Science Atlantic Sessions for All

Engage in enriching conversations through Science Atlantic Sessions for All (SASA).

Join faculty members and guest speakers in informal online gatherings to connect, learn, and collaborate in an environment designed to foster connections. We eagerly anticipate a year-round series of sessions and welcome your suggestions for future topics to explore.

More details can be found at Science Atlantic Sessions for All.

Speaker Tours

Several of our science committees partner with other organizations to host annual speaker tours of notable scientists. Each tour visits a minimum of three different post-secondary institutions in Atlantic Canada. Lectures are free and open to all interested.

More details can be found at the Speaker Tours page.
